Our favorite convertible Chromebook is $220 OFF for Presidents' Day, but you're running out of time

A range of Chromebook deals has hit the proverbial shelves this Presidents' Day, including $220 off the price of the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 laptop at Best Buy, which is a versatile touchscreen laptop that packs a serious punch.

We've named it the best 2-in-1 Chromebook on the market, in no small part due to its touchscreen and multi-use hinged design or its vibrant, 14-inch, 120Hz display. It also boasts a range of pretty powerful specs, easy access to Google Gemini features, and a long-lasting battery.

Normally priced at $700, the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 isn't a cheap device, but you can sometimes find it on sale like it is now. At just $480, it looks like a fairly good pick for those who want a lot of power without going full premium, and variety in the way they'll use their laptop.

✅Recommended if: you want a laptop with a touchscreen and an easy-to-use hinge for multiple use cases; you want something powerful enough to handle high-performance tasks, as well as something with access to some of Google's latest Gemini AI features; you like a laptop with a roughly 14-inch display.

❌Skip this deal if: you don't want a laptop with a touchscreen and you would rather consider one of Acer's other Chromebooks to save a bit of money; you prefer a larger or smaller laptop than this one; you need something with more than 256GB of onboard storage, or you'd rather go with a laptop that includes an AMOLED display.

The Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 features a 14-inch touchscreen display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 180-degree rotating hinge that lets you use the computer in an upright configuration, and a battery life of up to 17 hours, according to Acer.

Performance is backed by a pleasantly impressive MediaTek Kompanio Ultra CPU and 12GB of RAM, while it also features 256GB of storage and decent connectivity options. These include two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports, and a headphone and microphone jack.

The Chromebook also includes a backlight keyboard, and the intuitive Chrome OS, as well as some of the latest Gemini AI tools from Google. The company also says it's built with military-grade durability, aluminum top and rear covers, and sturdy hinges for upright use.

To be sure, it includes an LCD display which doesn't offer quite the same vivid experience as premium-level AMOLED displays, but if that isn't a dealbreaker for you, everything else about this laptop should make it seem pretty appealing at this price point.
